Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall we say, more colorful metaphors, "double dumbass on you" and so forth. Kirk: Oh, you mean the profanity? Spock: Yes. Kirk: That's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word.

"The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe."
Dr. Leonard H. McCoy, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
In my century, we don't succumb to revenge. We have a more evolved sensibility.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: First Contact
Damn it, Bones, you're a doctor. You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!
Capt. James T. Kirk, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Lt. Commander Data: It has been quite a day. Has it not? Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [slightly surprised about the comment] Yes, it has. Lt. Commander Data: However, a change of routine is often invigorating, and can be a welcome diversion after a long assignment. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Exactly. Lt. Commander Data: [after a pause] I understand that Arkaria has some very interesting weather patterns. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [bewildered] Mr. Data? Are you all right? Lt. Commander Data: Yes, sir. I am attempting to fill a silent moment with non-relevant conversation. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Ah. Small talk. Lt. Commander Data: Yes, sir. I have found that humans often use small talk during awkward moments. Therefore, I have written a new subroutine for that purpose. How did I do? Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Perhaps it was a little... too non-relevant.

There is no room in my heart for shame.
Lt. Worf, Star Trek: The Next Generation (Birthright, Part 2)
Lt. Commander Data: [asked why he refers to other cultures to interpret his vision] The interpretation of visions and other metaphysical experiences are almost always culturally derived. And I have no culture of my own. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Yes, you do. You're a culture of one. Which is no less valid than a culture of one billion.

Professor, I feel it necessary to point out that criminal behavior is as unacceptable in the 24th century as it was in the nineteenth - and very much harder to get away with.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation (Ship in a Bottle)
Torture has never been a reliable means of extracting information. It is ultimately self-defeating as a means of control. One wonders it is still practiced.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation (Chain of Command, Part 2)
Lt. Commander Data: I am curious as to what transpired between the moment when I was nothing more than an assemblage of parts in Dr. Soong's laboratory, and the next moment, when I became alive. What is it that endowed me with life? Doctor Beverly Crusher: I remember Wesley asking me a similar question when he was little, and I tried desperately to give him an answer. But everything I said sounded inadequate. Then I realized that scientists and philosophers have been grappling with that question for centuries without coming to any conclusion. Lt. Commander Data: Are you saying the question cannot be answered? Doctor Beverly Crusher: No - I think I'm saying that we struggle all our lives to answer it, that it's the struggle that is important. That's what helps us to define our place in the universe.
Star Trek: The Next Generation (The Quality of Life)
[La Forge is working on Data's open head] Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: I must admit, Data, I never get used to seeing you like this. Lt. Commander Data: I do not understand. You are constantly working on similar electronic systems, yet their appearances do not disturb you. Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Yeah, but you're not just another electronic system. Lt. Commander Data: Thank you, Geordi. Nor are you just another biological organism.

That's the wonderful thing about crayons: they can take you to more places than a starship.
Guinan, Star Trek: The Next Generation (Rascals)
Picard: Your arrogant pretense at being the moral guardians of the universe strikes me as being hollow, Q. I see no evidence that you're guided by a superior moral code or any code whatsoever. You may be nearly omnipotent, and I don't deny that your parlor tricks are very impressive. But morality? I don't see it. I don't acknowledge it, Q! I would put human morality against the Q's any day. And perhaps that's the reason that we fascinate you so—because our puny behavior shows you a glimmer of the one thing that evades your omnipotence: a moral center. And if so, I can think of no crueler irony than that you should destroy this young woman, whose only crime is that she's too human. Q: Jean-Luc, sometimes I think the only reason I come here is to listen to these wonderful speeches of yours.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard & Q, Star Trek: The Next Generation (True Q)
Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away.
Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge, Star Trek: The Next Generation (Relics)
I think maybe my biggest asset is patience. I let everyone talk until they're exhausted. And when I start, they're too tired to argue.
Ambassador Ves Alkar, Star Trek: The Next Generation (Man of the People)
The idea of being... deconstructed molecule by molecule, it's more than I can stand. Even when I was... a child, I always had a dreadful fear that, if ever I was dematerialized, that I would... never come back again whole. I know, sounds crazy, but...
Lt. Reginald Barclay, Star Trek: The Next Generation (Realm of Fear)
